The Paltra Palace, the banquet hall of the Pamis Palace, was called the "White House" because of its all-white architecture, and the bards once described it: "O Temple of the White Clouds of Rubata, it is a heavenly ............ where the stars meet." This is the best description of the evening www.biquge.info King Parmis feasted his envoys in his "White House".

Chyna finally learned why the generals of the Third Legion unanimously called Thorgrande "the king of late arrivals to the banquet", and she herself dressed in a military dress early to call Thorgrand, but ended up being one of the last to arrive. Thorgrande wore his old teal military uniform and a cloak that symbolized the status of the count. In fact, because he wore this cloak for the first time, it took him a long time to get it completely done, so that he did not insult his name as the "late king of banquets".

When the three of Farensi's party entered the hall, it was just in time for the first dance to begin. Pamis, Arslang I, who had nothing to do, greeted him, "You are so late. ”

"I'll make you smile," said Thorgrande, bowing, "and this is my secretary, Jeanna Lanfonte. ”

Chenna's military dress was one of the must-haves of the Praetorian Guard, perhaps her most elaborate outfit. China also owes herself, "It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty. ”

"Presumably you are the daughter of His Excellency Chaple Lanfonte, although it is a little late, but please mourn the matter of Lingzun."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Chenna's tone fell.

"Your Excellency Leus, your secretary is really a beauty, and beautiful women in military uniforms are very popular with us, so you should be careful later." Arslang I wanted to change the atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, you're laughing." Sogre smiled bitterly and broke out in a cold sweat, and began to change the subject, "Your Majesty, I have specially invited Miss Yugaris, a famous dancer from my country, to show my heart. ”

Eugaris knelt down and saluted, and Arslang I was very happy and called the master of ceremonies to arrange Eugaris's performance. Eugaris was taken away by the master of ceremonies.

"Your Excellency, you can really arrange it. The beauties of your country are not lost to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Mastar. ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Sigrani came accompanied by Cosette, who was dressed today in a silver evening gown, with a delicate silver necklace around her beautiful and strong neck, her carefully coiled blonde hair adorned only with a delicate silver crown, and her golden eyes shining with enchantment.

"Good evening, Your Majesty. Hello, Lord Leus. ”

"Hello, Her Royal Highness Princess Sigrani." Sogrend only owes a debt and does not kiss the hand.

"It's nice not to meet on the battlefield."

"I feel the same way."

Sigrani looked at Qinna on the side, and Qinna gave her a cold look, and this secret confrontation naturally made others see it. At this point, the first dance is over. Sigrani glanced at the dance floor and said, "Your Excellency Leus, do you want to dance?" Is it that the young lady on the side refuses to appreciate the light? "It's a way for the woman to take the initiative to invite the dance.

This made Thorgrande stunned, and he had to reply: "That's right, Mademoiselle Lanfonte is a little inconvenient, I wonder if His Highness is willing to condescend?" ”

"Absolutely, it's my pleasure." Sigrani happily put her hand in Sogrande's outstretched hand and walked with him to prepare for the second piece.

Cosette was secretly happy, and almost shouted, "Come on, Your Highness!" Something like that; China seems to have come to her senses, but she still has a posture of not caring about herself; King Parmis was a little confused, and looked at the other two with a puzzled gaze, but unfortunately neither of them intended to solve his puzzles.

The dance began, and Thorgrande's dancing skills were not as good as his sword skills, but Sigrani was very old enough to hide his clumsiness. Thorgrande began to sigh in his heart that the royal education was really unusual, much better than the dance steps he had learned from the tavern.

"Sir Leus, don't you think we're very close? You can always come together. ”

"Oh? Is that so? The god of fate has always been fond of playing tricks, Your Highness. ”

"Our accommodation is very close, did you know there is a little gazebo over there? Right in the garden between the two arrondissements. ”

"I seem to have seen one."

"Can you go there when this piece is over?"

"Why?"

"I have something to say to you alone. You go first, and I'll be there, okay? Sigrani's tone bordered on pleading.

Judging by this princess, there shouldn't be any traps, Sogrend thought. So he replied, "I'm willing to serve you." ”

The dance was soon over, and the two saluted each other before walking away. As soon as Sogrerd retreated, Arslang I greeted him: "It's not easy, the princess of Mastar actually took the initiative to invite you. For the first dance, I was rejected by her without hesitation. ”

"You're kidding."

"It's not uncommon to fall in love at first sight on the battlefield, that's how my wife and I met."

"I'm not as lucky as you."

Ofritte, the crown prince of Iberia, was also one of the important guests, and he was dressed up very well today, which naturally attracted the attention of many women. At this time, he was chatting with Princess Florus of Parmis. It just so happened that Sigrani was walking this way.

"Good evening, Your Highness Sigrani." The princess took the initiative to beckon.

"Good evening, Your Highness the Princess." Sigrani replied politely. Her handsome face and noble temperament conquered Ofrite at once. So much so that Princess Glasea kept staring blankly at Sigrani when she introduced her, much to the annoyance of the future Empress of Mastar.

"I have enjoyed His Highness's beautiful dancing posture before, can I have the honor to invite you to dance?" Ofrite said, kissing the princess's hand.

Sigrani quickly withdrew her softness and replied unceremoniously, "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, Your Highness Overwrit. Your Royal Highness, please allow me to take my leave. When he had arrived, he saluted gracefully and departed in the company of Cosette.

Ofriet is not a fool, although he doesn't say it, he already grits his teeth with hatred in his heart. The idiot could see what it meant by Sigrani's expression in front of Sogrande, and Higrani bit his ear with him. Naturally, Ofrite also counted Saugland.

At this time, Eugaris was scheduled to perform. Her appearance naturally attracted the attention of many men, and even Arslang I admired the figure of the dancing queen with great interest. Of course, women, including the princess, don't have a good impression of this exotic and bewitching dancing girl.

Eugaris scanned the surroundings and found no Saugland, much to her disappointment; Cenna's disdainful departure also made her a little angry. Qina was actually a last resort, many aristocratic ladies looked at her back and thought she was a handsome and beautiful young man, but when Qinna explained that she was a woman, she was immediately surrounded by the single thousand cavalry commanders in the Parmis army. Realizing that any further stay could lead to violence, China decisively decided to retreat.

The accompanying dance music sounded, and Eugaris did not forget her work ethic. Her feminine body swayed in sensual outfits and seductive dancing. She jumped happily, trying her best to tease the men present. The performance was a success, and many people have begun to inquire about her origins, although some people have done it more directly. When Eugaris had finished her dance, one of the attendants stepped forward and said in Farencian, "This young lady, our Highness would like you to come and talk to him. ”

Eugaris followed the instructions of her attendants and met the angry Dauphin of Iberia. She doesn't have much interest in men other than Saulgrande for the time being. So she put on her robe and replied in a loud continental dialect: "I'm sorry, I've been taken over by Sogrande, Count of Leus, of Phrensi, and can't serve others without his instructions. ”

Naturally, Overfleet heard this clearly, and only strengthened his jealousy of Thorgrande, "Damn it, you stole the limelight from me twice tonight, and you're going to pay for it." ”

Thorgrande paced back and forth in the gazebo several times, but the stars in the sky failed to attract his attention. Actually, there was a question that bothered him: what was Higrani up to. In this short period of time, Saugrand listed several hypotheses, both politically and strategically, but all of them were overturned by himself in no more than 3 seconds.

"I'll keep you waiting, Lord Leus." Sigrani's heavenly voice interrupted Thorgrande's thoughts.

"Oh, no, no."

"The night sky is beautiful tonight."

"That's true." Sogrand should be reconciled, waiting for the other party to cut to the chase.

"You're wondering, wondering why I asked you out."

Thorgrande was not surprised, he fully estimated the intelligence of this princess, and it should be said that he had some appreciation.

"Do you remember the first time we met?" The Princess's beautiful eyes looked at Saugland.

"Isn't it the one at the beginning of the year?" Sogrend didn't think he was referring to the first time he thought he had met.

"Oh," Sigrani looked disappointed, "you don't remember." Five years ago, a young girl escaped from your sword in the woods of the upper reaches of the Sorena River. ”

"That girl is indeed golden-eyed. It turned out to be Your Highness, what a disrespectful thing. "Sogrande has a decent memory." It seems like you're going to lose your mount every time. ”

Sigrani smiled, and smiled beautifully, because she was happy from the bottom of her heart. "I may not like you very much, but I still want to say that I fell in love with you, and I started five years ago."

Stunned, he unconsciously took a step back, and it was Thorgrande's instantaneous reaction. But he quickly regained his composure, and after walking a few more steps back and forth, he replied, "I would like to forget what I have just heard, and you will think that tomorrow morning it is just a strange dream." ”

Sigrani, who was overjoyed, was visibly disappointed by this reply, which was very different from the scene that the girl had imagined in her heart. Sigrani said with some annoyance, "Are you a coward? If you don't love me, please tell me directly, and if you can accept me, don't dodge. ”

Sogrerd replied quietly, "To a woman as illustrious as you, if she had been born in Mastar, she would have fallen down at your feet with joy." But your wayward feelings are subject to reality tests. It's a realist below, and the flowers that don't bloom won't water it below. "The metaphor is well played.

Sigrani felt a frustration she had never felt before, as a princess of the Mastar Empire, she could get whatever she wanted. However, Saulgrande is the only dream she can't fulfill in this world, and she always fails in front of him. Even when she sacrificed her last and most powerful weapon, her peerless beauty, she could not shake Sogrande's will.

"If nothing else, please take your leave." Thorgrande politely bowed and turned to leave.

At this moment, Thorgrande suddenly heard a loud sound and hurriedly turned around. Sigrani also dodged, but she was not as nimble as she was wearing an evening gown. So the arrow still pierced her right shoulder, and she could barely stand in pain. Sogre rushed up to hold her, quickly using his arm to protect the position of Sigrani's heart.

"Are you alright?"

"Okay." Sigrani gritted her teeth and endured the pain she had never felt before.

"The Assassins are gone," Thorgrande judged after a wary glance around, "excuse me." Thorgrande picked her up and walked swiftly and steadily towards the Mastar Mission's lodgings.

Sigrani snuggled weakly into his arms, the pain seemed to disappear in an instant, and her body felt a feeling of fullness and collapse. When Sogrend asked her for directions, she was almost perfunctory, not wanting this to end. Fortunately, Sogrend still has a good sense of direction, and even in the face of Sigrani's negative response, he quickly finds Sigrani's bedroom and sends her to his bed.

In order to create a two-person world for them, Cosette is still outside and does not know where to go. So the first aid fell to Thorgrande. "Presumptuous, Your Highness. I send the bill of the evening dress to the next time. With that, Thorgrande tore the shoulders of his tuxedo with all his might, revealing Sigrani's beautiful fragrant shoulders.

The wound is not blackened, which proves that it is not poisonous. The arrow is pierced diagonally into the flesh, so the wound is not deep but somewhat large.

"Your Highness, you are about to draw an arrow, you have to breathe hard, so as not to be out of breath all at once." Sogrend pressed his left hand on Sigrani's shoulder, and his right hand gripped the shaft of the arrow. Sigrani clearly felt Thorgrande's body temperature pass through her, but a piercing pain made her scream. The arrows have been pulled out.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Cosette heard Sigrani's shouts and rushed in.

"The arrow has been pulled out, and the room that is not suitable for bandaging wounds will be left to you to deal with the aftermath." Sogrand got up and took his leave.

Sigrani was panting in pain, unable to send off the guests; Cosette was scrambling to take care of the princess and couldn't pay attention to Saugland. Sogrede cautiously closed the door and retreated, and began to ponder the origin of the Assassins.

Ginna returned to the door of her room, and was about to open the door when she suddenly found Sogrend standing behind her. "It's so late, what's the matter?" Gina asked unceremoniously, opening the door as she spoke.

"I would like to ask your Excellency how to use the bow and arrow."

"It's a shame. Xia Guan is not good at this, I am afraid that it will make Your Excellency laugh. ”

Sogrend had already gotten everything he wanted to know, "Just kidding, Mademoiselle Lanfonte, I'd like to talk to you about Lingzun. ”

Gina apparently hesitated, but quickly recovered and said, "Then please come in and talk." ”

Saulgrande went in and found a chair and sat down, and Gina lit the candle. Sogrend spoke first, "Mademoiselle Ranfonte, I am really sad about Ling Zun's passing, he is my true mentor. ”

"Father seems to admire you, and he can't wait for you to be his son." China said sourly.

"It's been awarded, but you are also an outstanding officer who can make Ling Zun proud, although you are a daughter."

"Don't you approve of women joining the military either?" China was going to say, "Do you look down on women too?" But I didn't think it was appropriate, so I didn't ask so bluntly.

"Generally speaking, I don't approve of it. Because if a woman is triumphant or dies on the battlefield, it is fine, but if she is captured, then the problem is not as simple as death. Of course, I would welcome a competent officer like you. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I can't help it. My father didn't have any property, no one would want to marry a woman who was too smart without a dowry, and I had to rely on public office to support myself. China said nonchalantly.

"Ling Zun is a great commander, and he is good enough for me to look up to him. It's just a pity that my time under him was so short. Victory was always with him, and I always thought he was the kind of guy who was going to die in an easy chair. ”

"An easy chair, I used to use the chair to break walnuts when he was sitting in an easy chair, and he always had to fall off the chair. Unfortunately, I haven't given him a new chair yet. Gina remembered being naughty as a child.

"Crushed walnuts? Ah, I just used it to open the lid of the beer. Sogrend also confessed what happened back then, "As a result, Lord Lanfonte also wanted to drink, and that time I learned that there are people in the world who can get drunk with 3 beers." ”

"My father is very bad when he is drunk, and he likes to hug others and not let go, have you ever been hugged by him?"

"Of course, every time he stares at me, but every time he only calls your name. Ah, and ............"

In this way, the two unconsciously gathered their memories with Shapur bit by bit, and laughed at the climax, until the east confided the white belly of the fish. The night passed without feeling like it was over.

"I damn it to have bothered you for an entire night." Thorgrande found that the sky was about to lighten.

"No, thank you, Lord Leus. I've always wanted to find someone to remember my father like this, rather than just sympathizing with me. After spending such a night with you, I feel so much better. Cena said, stretching her back.

"Rest for a while, the fierce war of words is about to begin, and I hope you, the secretary, can be my solid backing. I'll take my leave. Thorgrande politely exited the secretary's room.
